welcome to all of you thanks for joining us us police attending our behavior on the antico for the occupy movement which has spread across the country a sense of began nearly two months ago there was a flare up of violence happen to this week in california offices to gasp a crowd of peaceful protesters in the city of oakland demonstrators were seriously injured and one hundred arrests were made for us on the veteran who was a bystander was seriously injured by police if the second time the force has cracked down on iranian the safety in the past two weeks. was stabbed in the midst of all. who we're still reporting from the it's a vocal and as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least a hundred of the not two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several i'm as you can see advancing behind us right now on the occupy oakland movement now we don't know how many officers are back there we saw a massive group of them sort of

a walk down that street before that was the street of the standoff where several protesters had barricaded the street from the police several several pieces of furniture and whatnot were lit on fire but again not enough of an action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police force here we have to remember that earlier thousands marched peacefully on the port of oakland shutting it down no arrests reported whatsoever in fact we didn't even see any of the police officers out there and yet after the peaceful march again this was a scene unfolding on the streets of oakland no other media outlets no other television outlets here on the frontlines we have been standing here we have seen tear gas fired several protesters injured from the tear gas in fact you can smell it in the air right now i wish i could describe it better but a very intimidating show of force when you have this line of police slowly marching forward with protesters in front of them the mood is an extremely tense we don't know how this will develop but people are sort of running out from the side streets

that perhaps there's more confrontations down that way. whether or not they're going to clear the camp remains to be seen but as you can see these was there are marching behind as sticks and hands baton hand i don't know if you can get any closer on that shots but they're certainly coming here the crowd as you can hear is chanting oakland perhaps you can see over there several police officers with their weapons out shooting their tear gas for these loud sort of don't know when it's the gun actually for anyone but definitely here scared that the protesters and journalists on site stop. police and moving in to break out by demonstrations across america several arrests were made with force and a plan to own washington where heavy handed police action was caught on camera finality in new york where the movement began in late september protesters camping out was because the pumps are determined to stand their ground they say authorities are preparing to turn to an addiction actually helping the occupy movement alongside it's already won by raising awareness across america. for the first time

in decades people are thinking about the degree to which corporations have power in this country and their greed which the way in which corporations that have power have been taking power away from regular american citizens it's been a phenomenal success because over the last few weeks we've been talking about the degree to which you know income inequality is a problem in this country rather than absurd talk about how we're going to be cutting social security and cutting medicare benefits in order to to fix the deficit problem we did this movement has been successful because it's changed the conversation and today it's successful because people are going to sites like banks that is start or moving their money. and to keep your finger on the pulse of the occupy movement as it continues its rapid spread across america just head to our twitter stream for the latest updates from our correspondent lisa caputo and she writes about the pressure that took place across the u.s. so noble and her twitter feed from.

let's move to greece now we're told between the country's embattled prime minister and the head of the main opposition party have ended it with an agreement to form a national unity government george happened to step down under the deal on which talks will continue on monday journalist every me is i could do has more from athens for us. three there are three main points i am beside nouns when the first of all we have the former they have agreed to form a new coalition government second up on trail will not to be the prime minister

will not be a beleaguered in this coalition government and third they have to make to again in order to arrange the details to morrow we have the meeting again of carlist up with us of the present of cricket public and with that the other leader so far the other parties but the most postable person to have to be delivering this a new government will be called mr lookouts but by they must be sixty four years old he is x. vice president in that european central bank is not a politician he is a technocrat but according to the plan is the most to be the prime minister and our other politicians about neck technocrats to be our own team but the most is a personality well respected in the whole euro zone in the whole european union and he's the person who knows very well how to react in this difficult situation upon

joe will still be the leader of his part the apostle party even though he will be if you will not be the leader of the new coalition government but the thing is that at first he decides is the coal that he decides to call or a friend and then he changes his opinion in a way he tried he perswaded on going to summarize the letter from sarah but they have to agree with the stare at him users with the agreement of twenty sixth of october about this all this us situation created confusion and now he's trying to show that he means what he says because he'll now but we have seen that he says something and then he takes back he decisions to analysts here in greece ofter of the announcement says a say that. more austerity measures are expected because nobody will give us money because the government is going to change this means that greece

the greek us citizens are going to suffer more now seem to be desperate they want to go on the lake still because they think that apart from this coalition government in february or even march we're going to have an election for a new government but of course we have to pay for the debts and as good as long as the government has decided has agreed with the troika they have to to follow and to put into practice the measures they have decided. while the greek debt crisis also dominated discussions on this week's g. twenty meeting can they descended into turmoil when the greek prime minister made his abortion ause minute of every surrender on the u. bailout plan only to trumpet shortly after with anything now it followed the summit the everchanging greek drama took center stage and camphor the g twenty leaders hero host nicolas sarkozy protecting what he calls the beating heart of europe till the end because some predictions resolution which is very strong. agree on this and

we will fight to defend europe and the euro. france and germany took action with this message to greece play by the rules or get out the greek prime minister made a cameo appearance in can return to athens and canceled an improv referendum that would have more last a while the public to decide if they stay or if they go when it comes to the euro or perish the thought that they should be allowed to decide whether they want these things leaders say it is up to greece to rule surely greece is an independent country and i just want to say they are perfectly free and i don't want to give any idea that we are trying to get involved in greek domestic politics. but france has given some exactly that idea but it is no longer an independent country and has been for a while and the conversation is always on what we need to do to satisfy our creditors demands and our creditors are the people who are going to determine

whether we survive or don't survive and the so-called backbone of the eurozone could be trying to save its backside with a statement from sarkozy that those who break deficit rules should be punished some with sanctions even if he is breaking the same rules back home in france they're running a budget deficit of beyond what what the rules of mass rich provide for the real irony with that is that the the french banks are are so desperate for some sort of a bailout and if they didn't get one for greece for example they could potentially go under and could be playing a major role in the fight to save the euro some hope for the single currency lines with the emerging economies or the brics who have already pledged to try and help the euro stay afloat but with a condition president medvedev says they want to play a bigger role in financial institutions like the i am math and the group of twenty format already it seems some headway there as for the first time ever a g.
